Hinduism gets pretty bloody confusing at times, yeah.

As far as I can tell, they believe that creation and destruction are integral to each other. Like a forest fire, destruction must occur for new growth, new creation.

Argh. I'm doing a lousy job of trying to explain. Okay, I didn't write this, but it sums her up for me:

Wild black mother,
how can I not love you?
Your dancing hair.
Your dancing feet.
Your dancing eyes.

Wild black mother
how can I not fear you?
Your savage mouth.
Your savage throat.
Your savage hands.

Wild black mother,
how can I not run to you?


Do I personally fear her? No. Do I think that she is 'safe'? Hells no! Kali is fierce, loving, wild, and a powerful force to be reckoned with. I would not call on her lightly, but I would not call on her with fear in my heart, either.

[livejournal.com profile] warinbear? She's one of your Patrons; help me out, here?
